The answer is almost certainly because of how much brain we’re trying to fit in our heads.
Evolution has already given us hugely weakened jaw muscles, shrinking jaws, painful birth, years of helpless infancy and chronic sinus problems, all in the singular pursuit of MORE ROOM FOR BRAIN. 
To be honest I’d say all of those are higher up on the priority list than ‘thicker mouth skin for when I eat a thing too hot too quickly once every couple years’.
This was why Lenin advocated for instant-recall for elected politicians. It’s been a problem for over 150 years.
The USA is 9 million square kilometres. Europe is 10 million.
The USA is way more crazy unstable than the EU and Russia combined. Twice as many civilians in the USA die every year from gun homicides than the actual fucking Russo-Ukrainian war. And I’m guessing USA gun homicides stat is already significantly short because of all the police shootings they don’t count.
Posts like this are why Americans are seen as loudly ignorant supremacist nerds.
As an individual, the only way you’ll EVER make a difference is communal action.
If every single individual who even considered reducing their carbon footprint reduced it to 0 tomorrow, I’m not convinced it’d matter - the other half of the population would happily double theirs, prosper, use this advantage to lord over everyone else, and overall the problem would get worse (much like happens already). Individual action has effectively never achieved a large-scale change and never will.
So YES, you can make a difference. By finding or founding an org that’s committed to making a difference.
Yes Mr Bond… the freedom to die
Prinsley, who breached declaration of interests rules “inadvertently” over a Labour Friends of Israel-funded trip to Israel in 2025, called the petition a “regurgitation of antisemitic tropes”.
We have investigated ourselves for Israeli corruption and found ourselves innocent.
As usual for these petitions, a small room of people said words for an hour, now it shall be summarily forgotten about forevermore.
I’ve been using Fedora for over 10 years. I used to have Nvidia issues, but those are all solved now.
Using it seems to be fine, but I would advise being wary and not giving Fedora/Red Hat any code or financial support. They do a lot of work for the US DoW, helping enable war crimes like murdering hundreds of school girls.
It’s almost like arrows point… in a direction. You may find in your life that arrows are indicating toward things that are not directly touching the end.
Of course the whole bourgeois class share common interests. But not entirely so. Else… why do tech giants oppose this move?
Good. This will be a good thing.
Uncontrolled social media has a lot of problems but pre-megacorp internet was at least one metric fuckton better than whatever this shit is we have now.
Basically all the tech giants oppose this move, though. This is pure government surveillance and censorship, baby.
Being ludicrously rich and being a fascist go hand in hand. People obsessed conning governments out of large amounts of money don’t tend to be in favour of helping others.
And rightly so, but I don’t think we’re blaming the individual here. Certainly shouldn’t be.
Most of the ‘good’ that wasps do are the absolutely TINY parasitic and non-stinging wasps. I’m sure we can all appreciate their uses. I just want rid of the mid-size and above stinging wasps, the rest of them can keep predating and pollinating.
It’s like saying “stop hating bacterial meningitis, bacteria lives in your gut y’know!” Like yeah I just hate the bad one
And the bit where they criminalised over ten opposition parties?
there have been referenda to determine if elections should be held
??? I can’t find evidence of any such referenda. This seems to just be false. Do you just mean ‘survey’?
I am (and most people are) not saying Ukraine MUST hold elections tomorrow. But the meme’s point stands - that none of these people have a meaningful democratic mandate.
If you’re just doing normal sheet, you should ideally basically not even notice SELinux. And in that sense it’s good.
If you’re doing any dev or running any server software or some kind of freaky setup, my advice is disable it. At least all you have to do is turn a true into a false.
In a lot of distros at least, you can just reinstall in place, which has the same effect. But a different place for /home does feel a potentially more reliable method.
Linux permissions are obvious, straightforward, and very easy to change - They rule.
SELinux permissions are impossible to see, seemingly pointlessly more complex, and I don’t know how to check them or change them i.e. They drool.
As a power user who is constantly changing system stuff, installing weird stuff, running weird servers, disabling SELinux is like, step 2 of installing Linux for me. I have wasted whole days working out just that SELinux is causing my fucking issue, and then days more on how to fix the permissions, and then days more doing those again when those permissions RESET as it is wont to do and days more trying to make my needed changes permanent. So instead of a week’s worth of frustrating work, I can spend one minute disabling SELinux.
Basically, I have wasted too much of my life faffing with a permissions layer that seems to be there solely as a ‘just in case’ my already existing permissions aren’t good enough.
Misleading headline, this was one example of many wrongs, some significantly more explicitly illegal:
She went to the employment tribunal, successfully claiming unfair dismissal, unauthorised deductions from wages, holiday pay, and being subjected to a detriment for making protected disclosure.
Given the pay claims, a significant portion of that money was clearly money she was already owed and earned anyway. This compensation probably wasn’t nearly enough.
Interesting, I was initially skeptical but this does seem probably the case. Western culture is so weird, dangit.
